Cupcakes are Tastier than Ever!

Last year on MyStarbucksIdea, you let us know our cupcake recipe wasn’t your favorite. I think you even said the word “dry” – ouch! So our bakers had a lot of work to do. We needed the moistest, most wonderfully flavored cake base to be topped with the most delicious and creamy buttercream frosting.

Megan, well known around here for her amazing cookies, set to work baking batch after batch of cupcakes to find the tastiest cake possible. Sugar fatigue (and likely a couple extra stops at the gym) didn’t stop her – she was determined to make this year’s recipe tastier than ever.

And I think she totally got it! Next time those cravings for something sweet hits try our new-recipe Signature Cupcakes in Red Velvet or Vanilla Bean.

And don’t forget Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching. If you’re an organized romantic you can preorder a box of four cupcakes at participating U.S. stores by February 12. If you’re more the last- minute, spur-of-the-moment type you can drop by on Valentine’s Day and we’ll do our best to have cupcakes available.

Be sure to share your comments and stories if you surprised someone (or were surprised!) with our cupcakes this Valentines Day!
